Wright Staff Reporter Weber's number two-ranked debate team placed third overall at a tournament held last weekend at Wingate College in Charlotte, North Carolina. Teams from the University of South Carolina, Clemson, Duke and Vanderbilt Universities, among others, competed in the two-day tournament. Kevin Boyer was selected as best speaker for the tenth tournament this year, including the national round robin tournament, held at Weber in January. "Boyer, at this point, is the best debater in the nation," said Coach David Berube. According to Berube, there are 3,500 active debaters in the nation. "And it's pretty impressive to have the best here. He (Boyer) works very hard," he said. Weber's top two teams of Boyer Henderson and Shauna WoodTony Justman finished the first eight rounds undefeated, according to Berube. "Both teams won octofinals; they won quarterfinals then dropped in the final round," he said. Berube said Weber was the only team from the West, "and we just dropped in on them and were really abusing the teams. The critics I think were just tired; they had judged Weber over and over again," he said. Weber picked up 30 points in the national ranking, which moves them to within 12 points of number one-ranked UCLA. "We are so far ahead of third place that no one can catch us. The race is now Weber StateUCLA, no one else can come close," Berube said. The original team of Boyer and Wood has been split to further strengthen the entire squad. Boyer now teams with Henderson and Wood argues with Justman. "We took Shauna and Kevin, who were our best team after winning the round robin, and we have them debate with the other two. As a consequence, we have two excellent teams instead of one superior team," said Berube. Because of Weber's debate success, the team has been invited to the Southern Speech Communication Association Convention in July. According to Berube, "They want the Weber State debate team there to give instruction in debate. They want us to teach the forensic educators what debate is all about." Weber has also received an invitation to compete in the national moot court competitions in Chicago. The team would be competing against law students from all over the nation. Weber will be heading to the Western Speech Championships this weekend in Fresno, California. "I'm convinced we will place first in that one," said Berube.
